Other Details to Note

PARKING: There is no dedicated car park for this micro-apartment. There is free 2-hour on-street parking on the street the apartment is on. We've never seen the parking monitored and our guests park there with no problems. However, if you prefer, there is a public car park adjacent to the apartment for $7.50 per day parking rate. STAIR ACCESS ONLY This is not an accessible apartment. It is not suitable for people with accessibility issues. ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: We own a fully restored, custom-designed 1966, 13-window, double-door VW Kombi. It's painted Gulf blue in a matt finish with Champagne colour feature accents and a tan leather interior. It's one of a kind, and a bit of a local rockstar here on the Streets of Braddon. If you want that bit of extra attention when you show up to an event, or you need a ridiculously cool transfer to or from the airport, or you're just keen to explore the Canberra wine region and enjoy the ride too, we have a bunch of packages that will no doubt help to create a memorable stay. Holla if you're interested in getting more info and pricing when you book.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Braddon is Canberra's most densely populated suburb, so it's no surprise that the lifestyle and entertainment options in Braddon are thriving. Braddon is home to arguably some of the best coffee in Canberra. Even the most particular of coffee connoisseurs will be impressed by Barrio Collective Coffee, on Lonsdale Street and Lonsdale Street Roasters. Also on Lonsdale Street is a slew of bars and restaurants, with spots along this strip topping many of Canberra’s ‘must-visit’ lists for brunch, breweries, vino, and vibes. Staying right in the heart of it all guarantees you’ll never be bored — with different spots for date night every day of the week, there’s no reason to venture beyond Braddon. Particularly worthy of mention is Bentspoke, which is consistently named as one of Canberra’s best microbreweries, eightysix restaurant, and our favorite, Corella. You’ll see plenty of impressive street art along the roadside buildings and several yoga studios and modern gyms, art classes, and music schools all located in Braddon. Haig Park comes to life every Sunday with the Haig Park Markets. From live music, delish street eats, fresh produce, and everything in between, it's a must-do if you're in town over the weekend. When you want to head out but don't want to get right into it on Lonsdale Street, The Howling Moon is at the end of the street, right next to the Astin apartments. It's a rooftop bar with arguably one of the best views across Canberra. You can settle in with a bottle of wine or two, get some snacks or drop in for a main meal.

Guest Access

Stair access only. You'll have access to the entire 1 bedroom micro-apartment.

Really well thought out apartment with high end appliances, everything you could possibly need for a city stay. The washer/dryer was super helpful travelling with an infant and active toddler. Jacqui and her partner were great on the comms and made us feel very welcome.

This was a great choice for a weekend getaway, located in a quiet area and a short walk away from the cafes and restaurants of Braddon. The space was tastefully furnished, and all of the amenities were thoughtful and easy to use thanks to the instructions provided. Jacqui and Tom are amazing, responsive hosts and made us feel very welcome. Would love to stay again! One thing to note is that you are able to hear footsteps from upstairs on occasion, though this didn’t really impact our stay.

My friends and I loved our stay! Jacqui was very quick to respond to our messages and was a very accommodating host. I messaged her at 8pm a few hours after our check-in to let her know we were in need of some more linen and she responded instantly, delivering the linen herself in less than an hour. The place was spotless and completely fitted out with every appliance we could possibly need. Thank you very much, we’re looking forward to our next visit :)

I was in town for a conference and Jacqui’s place was absolutely perfect. Easy to walk into town and a great launching pad to head out on several day trips. Great price and super clean and convenient.

Jac and Tommy were very helpful hosts and it was lovely staying at The Lagoon, a very neat, stylish and compact apartment that had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. We had let Jac and Tommy know that we were bringing two bikes to cycle around Canberra during our stay and they cleared out a secure storage area so we could lock up our bikes and access them as we needed. This was much appreciated and it was a joy to cycle around Canberra each day. Highly recommend staying here and them as hosts.

Jacqui's place is in a great location from the city centre. Jacqui has always promptly responded to all my queries. Great place for a couple for a quiet and cozy stay. Most places (including shops) are a in a walkable distance or through a short drive. I would definitely recommend this stay if you are looking to go to Canberra and be close to CBD (though not feel like you are in CBD).
